Chapter 143: Eastern Han Dynasty Characteristic County and State Soldiers
Liu Bei certainly had his own confidence in trusting his subordinates like this.
He believed in his subordinates, believed that they could complete the tasks assigned to them, and believed that they would not neglect their duties.
If Zhuge Liang could have more trust in Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others, or if his sense of responsibility was not so strong, he might have lived a few more years.
But judging from the degree of internal struggle in Shu Han at that time...
If he doesn't work hard, how can he die in exchange for it?
But fortunately this time, Zhuge Liang doesn't need to work so hard anymore.
As early as when Liu Yan went to Xuzhou to be Xuzhou's pastor, Liu Bei sent people to Xuzhou to investigate the situation of the Zhuge family. Later, he learned that the situation of the Zhuge family was quite stable, and several members of the family were working under Liu Yan.
But later on, Liu Yan became more and more arbitrary in his actions. During the large-scale massacre of local powerful people in Xuzhou, Liu Yan also made the local people under his command distrust him, so they left Liu Yan on a large scale. The members of the Zhuge family
Zhuge Xuan is one of them.
However, there was no major chaos in Xuzhou. Liu Yan soon resigned and was replaced by Dong Zhuo. The chaos in Xuzhou mainly occurred in the south. The state of Langya Kingdom in the north was actually relatively stable, so the Zhuge clan living in Langya did not
Move home.
After Dong Zhuo was transferred, Liu Bei asked him to summon Zhuge Xuanpi, who was idle at home to teach his children, to work in the state capital and give him a job so that he and the Zhuge family could stay and develop in Xuzhou with peace of mind and not run away.
At the same time, Liu Bei learned that the thirteen-year-old Zhuge Liang and his brothers had entered the newly established Xuzhou Prefecture Middle School, with the goal of entering Taixue in three years, and were working hard.
In this regard, Liu Bei did not interfere too much.
Zhuge Liang's life course has been changed by him. He will no longer go south with Zhuge Xuan, he will no longer be homeless and dependent on others, and he will lack such a not-so-splendid life course.
But Liu Bei believed that gold always shines. Zhuge Liang's later achievements have little to do with his wandering as a boy. Suffering is suffering, and there is no meaning of growth. The key lies in people.
Zhuge Liang is a genius in the true sense. A genius who gives him room to develop will perform perfectly. Liu Bei will give him enough learning time and accumulation time. In this way, when he comes to Liu Bei, he will also bloom.
Give off a dazzling brilliance.
If there is anything truly brilliant in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, it is the pair of Emperor Liu and Prime Minister Zhuge. These two people are the most dazzling torches in the world shrouded in black mist.
He is looking forward to Zhuge Liang's growth, and he is looking forward to Zhuge Liang coming to him.
Of course, it is not just Zhuge Liang, he also hopes that more outstanding young people will grow up in this era changed by him, come to his side and become his help.
He tried his best to reverse the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, and tried his best to prevent the era of great division that was supposed to occur from happening, but he knew very well that this was temporary.
If he cannot complete a real redistribution of wealth during his lifetime, then the day he dies will be when history gets back on track.
He can't do this alone, he needs to work hard with everyone.
The subordinates in the General's Mansion are what he mainly relies on now, and in fact, the General's Mansion is indeed running well.
Without Man Chong away, the operation here will be carried out with Cheng Yu as the core.
Cheng Yu showed his strong administrative talent and ability in this operation. It can be said that a series of preparations for the Bingzhou Campaign were actually carried out by Cheng Yu. Liu Bei only mentioned a theme and did the rest of the details.
It's all operated by the General's Mansion led by Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu is not young, but has little official resume. People who don't know him are puzzled by Liu Bei's appointment of Cheng Yu to take over Man Chong's responsibilities after Man Chong left. It is generally believed that Cheng Yu, who does not have enough resume, cannot afford the responsibility.
this position.
But Cheng Yu, who was in his forties, slapped everyone in the face with his actual actions.
In addition to Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, Wang Shang, Qin Mi and other officials in the general's palace also performed their respective duties, giving full play to their powerful political abilities.
At this stage, the operation of the General's Mansion was very smooth. All logistical matters for the Bingzhou Campaign were carried out smoothly according to Cheng Yu's plan. Because of the efforts of Cheng Yu and others, Liu Bei became the leader of the entire General's Mansion.
The most leisurely person.
He only needs to give orders, and all the rest will be done by his subordinates.
Liu Bei would check the situation there from time to time to see how it was running and whether there were any errors. The main work was left to these subordinates, and he himself took some time to spend with his family.
Just like it was in Liangzhou.
But the situation is different now. Back then, the Liangzhou team's governing ability overflowed, but now the General's Mansion is far from overflowing. In other words, the entire Luoyang court has not completed its transformation and is not a service-oriented court.
.
Of course, this will happen sooner or later.
As February approached, Liu Bei slowly put away his relaxation and began to put most of his energy back into business, constantly coordinating everything on the front and rear, and doing the necessary work for many key things.
check.
When the first day of February arrived, Liu Bei was also looking forward to it.
This is the first time that his subordinates have carried out military operations independently without his direct command. Whether this military operation can be successful will determine the future development of many things.
Liu Bei did not hope that his subordinates would not be able to fight without him.
But it is obvious that his worries are unnecessary. His subordinates will also grow. From the beginning, they can only fight and rush, but later they can use strategies to fight. They are also constantly growing and transforming.
Just like this operation, Guan Yu knew a lot about the Southern Huns and Huchuquan in advance. Before the military operation, he found Yu Fuluo and discussed with him how to deal with Huchuquan, hoping to eliminate Huchuquan at the minimum cost.
Kitchen spring.
Of course, Yu Fuluo was not unhappy. He was willing to fully cooperate with Guan Yu, so under Guan Yu's design, Yu Fuluo used the name of his brother to invite Huchuquan to the tribe for one last discussion, hoping to persuade him to accept Luo for the last time.
The order of the Yang court.
Hu Chuquan's attitude was as tough as ever.
No need to talk.
They rebelled for freedom, and now they are going back, so those who died were in vain?
Yu Fuluo sighed deeply.
Stupid brother, brother, I have tried my best to pull you ashore, but you just refuse to climb out.
I have done my best to be benevolent, so don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood.
So Yu Fuluo threw a cup as a sign, and the elite soldiers under Guan Yu's command came out with swords and hacked to death the confused Huchuquan and his accompanying knights.
Hu Chuquan didn't expect that he would die so hastily and rudely...
But facts have proven that the simpler and more crude methods are often more effective and more effective.
Hu Chuquan died in a daze, and all the people he brought with him also died. However, his subordinates in Xihe County were not prepared for anything.
The elite cavalry attacked and failed miserably. More than 3,000 people were killed.
In the end, all the people in the tribe who wanted to resist were killed, and the rest became losers who dared not resist, became prisoners, and became slaves.
According to the agreement in advance, Yu Fulo could take away one-third of these prisoners, and Liu Bei was responsible for handling the remaining two-thirds, allowing them to atone for the sins they had committed.
Yu Fuluo had no idea about this at all.
He learned from the subordinates who came back that the Han cavalry were very good at fighting, well-equipped, and everyone wore armor. Many of them even wore armor on their horses. Huchuquan's subordinates fought back hard, but with little effect, and were later defeated by the Han army.
The military cavalry was destroyed.
It would be terrible if such an army were enemies. Fortunately, they are friendly forces...
Coincidentally, it was similar with Qianzhao. He had direct contact and conversation with Zhang Yan, discussed the tactics of a Hongmen Banquet, and invited Yu Du and other opposition leaders for one last negotiation, pretending to be a last-ditch effort to win over.
